About me
Are you or your child struggling with ADHD, autism or AuDHD, or questioning whether you or your child are neurodivergent? I am a neurodivergent psychotherapist & counsellor diagnosed with ADHD, and I work with children (11+), teenagers and adults.
If you are feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed or anxious, or if you are dealing with trauma, or experiencing issues in your relationship, family or at work - I am here to listen and support you.
With my lived experience of ADHD, I provide neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapy & counselling. I work with children, teenagers & adults struggling with ADHD, being autistic or AuDHD, anxiety or depression, or dealing with trauma. I provide a safe space for you to open up without judgement or criticism, where you can feel validated and supported.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have experience of providing counselling to children & teenagers as a school counsellor, providing therapy for adults while working in a counselling centre, working for a crisis support service with children, teenagers & adults, and working in private practice.
Before my psychotherapy training, I studied law at university, and volunteered for the Innocence Project, providing pro-bono legal support to alleged victims of miscarriages of justice. After graduating from university, I worked in law firms, supporting victims of domestic violence and abuse.
I am a fully-trained, fully-qualified and BACP-registered psychotherapist & counsellor, and I have a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
